The Diet Prada Effect
23:18I am a huge fan of the Instagram account (now insta verified) Diet Prada.
The anonymous account calls out fashion issues such as fashion copycats and ethical issues in the fashion community, naming and shaming very publicly any brands or persons who have been seen as doing wrong. It has got them into heat with many people in the industry however, arguments often kick off in the comments section as brands lash back, unhappy with the negative critique put out about them.
I do adore the account, I think that everything they are saying seems more than fair. There is inspiration and then there is straight plagiarism and some of the comparisons they post are almost identical. They know their stuff about fashion and about brands and are not afraid to show it.
As the account themselves put it;
“When it’s from a place of love (and credited) its inspiration. If you’re trying to keep the reference quiet and cash in off of someone else’s proven success, then you’re into theft territory.”
